18 Jun 2026 HSBC Bank Australia LimitedHSBC Bank Australia: AUD 35m penalty for failing to protect customers from scams €21.4m
HSBC admitted that from May 2023 to May 2024 it lacked adequate controls against unauthorised payments via its internal transfer channel, that from January 2020 it handled scam reports under the ePayments Code too slowly (144 days on average) and without applying the liability rules, and that until April 2024 it gave affected customers no orderly way back into their accounts. The Court imposed AUD 35 million (AUD 10 million for the fraud controls, AUD 22.5 million for the contraventions relating to the ePayments Code, AUD 2.5 million for restoring account access) and ordered notices on the website, in the app and in letters to customers.
Banks must deploy scam controls on every payment channel and handle scam reports within the deadlines of the applicable rules.
